Oxygen Method

This document describes an oxygen-based technique for measuring unburned carbon in fly ash. The method involves measuring oxygen levels before and after a re-combustion chamber using sensors. Any difference between the readings indicates the amount of oxygen consumed to combust remaining carbon particles. A schematic diagram shows oxygen sensors placed before and after the re-combustion chamber, which heats the flue gas above 1500 degrees to cause combustion. The technique aims to utilize excess oxygen in the flue gas itself to re-combust carbon particles in a cost-effective way, without needing additional air supply.

OXYGEN BASED CARBON DETECTION TECHNIQUE

INTRODUCTION

The oxygen based method is a type of differential measurement technique. In this method the oxygen is measured before & after combustion chamber. The difference between both the measurements is the indication of Unburned carbon content in fly ash. The scale of carbon measurement is calibrated linearly to the oxygen used for combustion reaction. Means we are developing the linear relationship between oxygen & carbon. The Ratio for carbon oxygen is 1:2.i.e for combustion of 1 molecule of carbon it requires 2 molecules of oxygen. C (1 mole ) + O (2 moles ) CO

DESCRIPTION

This method is the experimental set up yet to test. We are thinking for the above mentioned design & its feasibility. In this method the cost effective way is used based on oxygen measurement. The idea behind this method is that the flue gas contains many components like excess oxygen. Unburned carbon particles in the form of hydrocarbons & different flue gases with dust. So, we are supposed to utilize the excess oxygen in flue gas for measurement of unburned carbon particles. Here we will make one re combustion

chamber provided with the Ultra heating coil capable of generating temperatures above 1500 degrees. The flue gas when passes through the Re combustion chamber the Coil starts heating by utilizing the available oxygen present in the Flue gas which causes combustion of Carbon particles present in flue gas. So here we are determining the amount of oxygen from flue gas consumed by the carbon particles for complete combustion. For this purpose we are planning to install one oxygen sensor before the Re combustion chamber as shown in above figure & another one will be just after the combustion chamber .By comparing the results of two sensor readings we will get the difference which indicates the consumption of oxygen by Carbon particles resulting in the formation of CO. The Carbon measurement Scale is linearly calibrated to oxygen measurement. No additional air supply is given to the Re Combustion chamber ,it will use the excess air remained in the flue gas for combustion of Unburnts.
